Officers - College Tuition Scholarship Program

For eligible dependent children, a College Tuition Scholarship benefit pays 50% of a student’s undergraduate tuition at accredited institutions outside of Columbia (up to an annually defined limit) for up to eight semesters. You are eligible for this benefit after completing four years of regular full-time salaried continuous service. Your child must matriculate into their degree program by the end of the month in which they turn age 26.
